It's about 12-year old Greg Heffley, who receives a diary (which he insists on calling a journal) from his mother, much to his chagrin. Greg's mom strikes a deal with him and tells him if he writes a little each day in his diary, he will get to opt out on one chore on Saturdays. Greg agrees to this, but it's mostly because he hopes it will be useful when he becomes famous and doesn't want to answer annoying questions. He then chronicles all of his misadventures during the start of the school year all the way into summer vacation.

* {{Cloneopoly}}: Susan institutes a "Mom Bucks" program for her sons, where she gives them play money in exchange for doing well, and they can give back to her in exchange for real money. Greg eventually discovers that the bills are actually from a board game called "Zoo-Opoly", and steals some from a game box to pass them off as Mom Bucks he earned. This plot point also appears in the book and movie adaptations, but the book version doesn't name the board game, while the movie version [[AdaptationNameChange calls it]] "Pay Up".

!!''Diary of a Wimpy Kid'' contains the following tropes:

* DisproportionateRetribution: Greg writes an allegory story for school involving a monkey attempting and failing to fix a car, then shows it to Rodrick, who is fixing his own car. When Rodrick gets it, not he only tears up Greg's story, but he tells all his friends about Greg's embarrassing incident in the retirement home toilets.
* EyeScream: Greg's pet angelfish has its eyes ripped out by Rodrick's fish.
* TheFaceless: A character in the webcomic named Herbie Reamer. He's the leader of a gang of bullies and the reason why no sane kid in Greg's school stays on the basketball courts past 3:00.
* HypeBacklash: InUniverse. Greg is shown as being incredibly anxious to play a video game called "Twisted Wizard 2" and then says it's the lamest game ever made (mainly because of a horrible control scheme).
